Two Part Invention

Time
is divided
into two rivers:
one
flows backward, devouring
life already lived;
the other
moves forward with you
exposing
your life.
For a single second
they may be joined.
Now.
This is that moment,
the drop of an instant
that washes away the past
. (Ode to the Past, p. 115)

Pablo Neruda

   

This is life we are talking about and, as visual artists, we talk with our pencils and brushes.
